Accelerometer Sensor with iOS 3.2
Detects iPad positioning, movement, and tilt, switches between portrait and landscape modes, and functions as the tilt controller for applications and games that utilize this hardware component. Use the screen rotation lock switch on the right side of the iPad to lock the screen in portrait or landscape mode. If the display is locked, an indicator appears in the status bar (second graphic).
The lock indicator appears next to the battery indicator, in the top right corner. of the display.
2010-12-09
Screen Rotation Lock with iOS 4.2

Beginning with iOS 4.2, the screen rotation lock is enabled via the screen orientation lock control. Double-click the Home button, then place your finger on one of the icons at the bottom of the screen and swipe to the right. The screen orientation lock, brightness slider, and iPod controls appear.
For more information on enabling rotation lock, refer to http://support.apple.com/kb/ HT4085: iPad: Understanding screen rotation lock.
2010-12-09
Ambient Light Sensor

The ambient light sensor detects light levels at the current location and adjusts the brightness of the Multi-Touch display. The approximate location of the ambient light sensor is circled and marked in orange:
Troubleshooting Notes: Make sure the ambient light sensor is not being blocked or covered. Screen brightness can be affected by a screen protector, especially if it covers the ambient light sensor. The ambient light sensor can be defeated using the Settings application. The iBooks application includes a screen brightness slider that overrides the iPad screen brightness (but only when iBooks is running). Note: There is a slight delay of a few seconds before the screen adjusts to ambient light (this is by design, it is not intended to be instantaneous). Isolate applications that might modify the screen brightness on the iPad and if unsure what application might be the cause, restore the iPad to see if it fixes the problem (restoring the iPad will remove all 3rd party applications from the device and reset the unit back to factory default settings).
2010-12-09
Liquid Contact Indicators

The iPad warranty excludes coverage for damage caused by liquid. To help determine if an iPad has been in contact with liquid, two liquid contact indicators (LCIs) are installed on the iPad at the following locations: At the bottom of the headphone jack In the 30-pin connector port (requires holding the product at a 45 degree angle to view) Use a lighted otoscope to look into the headphone jack and 30-pin connector slot for activated LCIs. They turn red on contact with liquid.
Micro-SIM Card
For cellular data, iPad WiFi + 3G uses a micro-SIM card. Changing cellular data carriers for an iPad WiFi + 3G requires changing the mico-SIM card. Note: iPhone SIM cards are not compatible with iPad WiFi + 3G and are physically larger than iPad micro-SIM cards.
Micro-SIM Service Strategy

Micro-SIM cards are replaceable by the cellular carrier. If iPad WiFi + 3G requires a SIM replacement, refer the customer to the carrier.
Micro-SIM Tray
The SIM tray is available as a service part, 922-9553.
2010-12-09
Removing the Micro-SIM Card

When troubleshooting iPad WiFi + 3G connectivity, you may need to remove the micro-SIM card to check for damage or other issues. To remove the card, do the following: 1. Insert the end of the SIM eject tool into the hole on the SIM tray. 2. Press firmly and push the tool straight in until the tray pops out. (If you dont have a SIM eject tool, you can use the end of a paper clip.) 3. Pull out the SIM tray and remove the micro-SIM card from the tray.

iPad Warranty Coverage

Apple covers defects in materials and workmanship on the iPad under normal use for a period of ONE (1) YEAR from the date of retail purchase by the original end-user purchaser. Apples policy is to replace products showing defects that are not the result of an obvious external cause, and to offer out-of-warranty (OOW) paid service for products exhibiting repairable damage. The iPad warranty covers failures caused solely by manufacturing defects, regardless of accidental or liquid damage.
Issues Not Covered Under the Warranty

This warranty does not apply to: Damage caused by use with non-Apple products Damage caused by accident, abuse, misuse, flood, fire, earthquake or other external causes Damage caused by operating the product outside the permitted or intended uses described by Apple Damage caused by service (including upgrades and expansions) performed by anyone who is not a representative of Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) A product or part that has been modified to alter functionality or capability without the written permission of Apple Consumable parts, such as batteries or protective coatings designed to diminish over time, unless damage has occurred due to a defect in materials or workmanship Damage caused by intentional separation, opening, or disassembly of enclosure Cosmetic damage from external causes, including but not limited to dents, abrasions, scratches on case, paint, discoloration, cracking, peeling of metal or plastic parts of enclosure Important: Failures due to material or foreign objects in the ports are not covered under the iPad warranty, but may be eligible for OOW paid service. Cosmetic blemishes caused by normal use are not covered under the iPad warranty. Certain damage is ineligible for service, including liquid damage; catastrophic damage caused by abuse, such as the device separating into multiple pieces; and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications.

Liquid Damage
The iPad warranty excludes coverage for damage caused by liquid. To help determine if an iPad has been in contact with liquid, two liquid contact indicators (LCIs) are installed on the iPad at the following locations: At the bottom of the headphone jack In the 30-pin connector port (requires holding the product at a 45 degree angle to view) Use a lighted otoscope to look into the headphone jack and 30-pin connector slot for activated LCIs. They turn red on contact with liquid. If an LCI is activated, follow these guidelines: Ask the customer whether the product has been in contact with liquid, and if so, did the issue with the product occur at or soon after that event. If the customer confirms that the issue correlates with the product being in contact with liquid, explain that failure caused by liquid contact is not covered under Apples one-year limited warrantyor, if applicable, the AppleCare Protection Plan (APP)and deny coverage. If there is clear evidence that the internal components of the product have been in contact with liquid, for example the product is dripping with liquid or there is evidence of liquid or liquid residue behind the product display, deny coverage. Claims that are eligible for warranty or APP coverage, and have not been denied as described in the above situations, should be processed as normal. Note: An iPad with an issue caused by liquid contact is not eligible for OOW paid service. Refer to About Liquid Damage and iPad at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4086. Activated LCI Images You may need to use an otoscope, magnifying loupe, and bright light to view the LCI at the bottom of the audio jack. In the image below, the LCI has turned red, indicating liquid contact.
The LCIs on the 30-pin port appear along the top of the port. Look for a red or pinkish color.

Debris in Ports
1. Use a lighted otoscope or magnifying glass to inspect the following for lint or other debris that may be causing issues: Headset jack Dock connector Microphone and speaker 2. Remove debris, if possible, using an ESD brush. If inspection indicates damage due to debris, follow these guidelines: Resulting non-operation, malfunction, damage, or cosmetic damage is NOT covered under warranty. Resulting non-catastrophic damage is eligible for OOW paid service.
2010-12-09
Screen and Glass Inspection

Apples policy is to replace products showing defects that are not the result of obvious external cause. If initial inspection shows streaks or smudges on the glass, clean it the iPad as follows: Unplug all cables and turn off iPad (press and hold the Sleep/ Wake button, and then slide the onscreen slider). Then use a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid getting moisture in openings. Dont use window cleaners, household cleaners, aerosol sprays, solvents, alcohol, ammonia, or abrasives to clean iPad. iPad has an oleophobic coating on the screen; simply wipe the iPad screen with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove oil left by your hands. The ability of this coating to repel oil will diminish over time with normal usage, and rubbing the screen with an abrasive material will further diminish its effect and may scratch your screen. For additional information about handling iPad, see the iPad Important Product Information Guide at support.apple.com/manuals/ipad. Visually inspect for crack(s) on screen or glass, and follow these guidelines: A product exhibiting a single hairline crack without visible damage to the enclosure is eligible for covered (warranty or APP) repair service. A product exhibiting multiple cracks or a single crack with visible damage to the enclosure is eligible for OOW paid repair service. Single hairline cracks with no enclosure damage:

2010-12-09
Dents/Surface Damage Inspection

Apples policy is to replace products showing defects that are not the result of obvious external cause. Surface Dents Use dent tool* (922-8022) to check and verify the surface enclosure for dent damage. For a single dent, place the dent tool with the 1mm needle in the dent hole. For units with more than one dent, where the 1mm needle will not lie flat in the deepest dent, use the 0.33mm needle on the second deepest dent. If the tool lies flat on the surface (no rocking), do not exchange the product under warranty. The product may be eligible for OOW paid service. If the dent tool does not lie flat, process the warranty claim as normal, including, if necessary, replacing the product. * For more information on the iPad/iPod dent inspection tool, refer to Measurements and Demonstration of Tool.

Restart
A restart forces the device to close all open files and powers off all hardware components. And, a restart safely closes active applications and processes, preserving any data in the process. Unless an issue is due to physical damage, a restart should be the first troubleshooting step you attempt. The iOS and applications use a combination of CPU and memory (RAM) resources. A device restart can be an effective troubleshooting step in situations where sufficient CPU and RAM resources are unavailable. A restart can quickly resolve a wide range of issues, including: Applications unexpectedly quit. Battery life is shorter than expected. Hardware is not performing as expected. Interface or applications are slow to respond. iTunes does not recognize or sync with the device. To restart the iPad: 1. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears. 2. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPad. 3. To turn iPad on, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears. Note: If you cannot restart the device because it is unresponsive, a reset (next page), is an appropriate troubleshooting step.
2010-12-09
Reset
If the device is unresponsive and restart does not work, the next option is to reset it. A reset resolves only one specific issue: an unresponsive device you cannot restart. Key Points: Reset only when you cant restart the device normally. A reset removes all power for a fraction of a second to power off the device. A reset does not close open files or save data before the device powers off. A reset can potentially cause file or operating system damage, requiring a restore. To Reset the iPad: Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
2010-12-09
Remove Content
Removing content is effective for software issues related to content that has been synced or downloaded. Note: Removing content requires the customers computer and password to enter the iTunes account. If you have access to the computer the device originally syncs with, try selectively removing recently added content or any content that is not working as expected, such as applications, contacts, calendars, songs, photos, videos, or podcasts. If you do not have access to the computer the device originally syncs with, try Erase All Content and Settings. Important: Verify customer has backed up all data before performing either step. To Remove content: Connect iPad to a computer and use iTunes to change the sync settings. In the left column under Devices, click on your iPad, then select each tab to change the content that is synced. When you are finished, click Apply (or Sync) in the lower right corner of the screen. If an application isnt working as expected, try removing the application and reinstalling from the iTunes store. Key Points Damaged, unusable, or incorrectly formatted content can cause applications to unexpectedly quit. If an application continues to unexpectedly quit after a restart, remove the content associated with the application. Use iTunes to remove content from the device, test the application with no content, and then test with known-good content. Contact and Calendars: Create a new contact or calendar on the device. Music, Video, Podcasts: Use QuickTime sample files or a free song of the week from the iTunes Store.

Reinstall iTunes on the Computer

Reinstalling iTunes is an important device troubleshooting step. iTunes relies on AppleMobileDevice support (AMDS) to recognize, communicate, and sync content to and from devices that use the iOS. Following are examples of hardware and software components that can cause connectivity issues: Hardware: The device Dock Connector to USB cables The computers USB ports USB hubs Software: The iOS on the device The computers AMDS components Get the latest version of iTunes at http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/. If this does not resolve the issue, try completely uninstalling iTunes and then reinstalling. Refer to the links below. Removing iTunes for Mac OS X, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1224 Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925

iPad General Troubleshooting 47
Restore the iOS on the Device

A restore returns the device software to factory condition, providing a clean installation for troubleshooting Key Points A restore erases all user content, settings, and operating system files, and then reinstalls only the operating system. A restore is time-consuming, especially if you have to download the restore package and/or resync content. The restore package is approximately 250 MB and can take a long time to download on slow networks. When the restore is complete, test the device before restoring a backup or syncing content. Note: Do not set up as a new device, as this can erase previous backups. Copy or rename the backup folder before proceeding; location of this folder is listed in Knowledge Base article HT1414, Backing Up, updating, and restoring your iPhone and iPod touch software. To restore your iPad: 1. Make sure you are using the latest version of iTunes. 2. Connect iPad to the computer. If possible, sync iPad with iTunes before restoring to back up your most recent data and settings. 3. In the left column under Devices, click on your iPad, then click on Restore in the Summary tab. Note: Restore will delete all media and data. All settings will be reset as well.
2010-12-09
Erase All Content and Settings

Erase is a quick way to get back to factory settings. It will delete all content and settings, but it doesnt reinstall the iPhone operating system like a restore will do. Note: Sync iPad with iTunes before erasing to back up your most recent data and settings. From the Home screen choose Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.
2010-12-09
Recovery Mode Restore

If iTunes cannot detect the device, or specific restore error appears, check connections. If the issue persists, consider forcing the device into recovery mode. If you cannot restore a device, even when using recovery mode, service or replacement may be the appropriate option. Important: Make sure the customer is aware that all their media and data will be erased. Key Points Recovery mode loads only the firmware drivers necessary for iTunes to recognize the device. To force recovery mode, power off the device, and then connect it to a USB port on your computer while holding down the Home button. If the device does not power off, try the reset process to power it off. If iTunes displayed an alert with an error code, see http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1275 before attempting the steps below. Note: In certain situations, an iPad will automatically go into recovery mode after an update or restore issue. If your device is already in recovery mode, you can attempt to restore using iTunes. To Perform Recovery Mode Restore: Use the following steps to place your iPad into recovery mode. If the iPad is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6. 1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computers USB port. 2. Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off. If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons. Press and hold the Home button while reconnecting the USB cable to iPad. Continue holding the Home button. 3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.

Ambient Light Sensor

The ambient light sensor detects light levels at the current location and adjusts the brightness of the Multi-Touch display. The approximate location of the ambient light sensor is circled and marked in orange:
Troubleshooting Notes: Make sure the ambient light sensor is not being blocked or covered. Screen brightness can be affected by a screen protector, especially if it covers the ambient light sensor. The ambient light sensor can be defeated using the Settings application. The iBooks application includes a screen brightness slider that overrides the iPad screen brightness (but only when iBooks is running). Note: There is a slight delay of a few seconds before the screen adjusts to ambient light (this is by design, it is not intended to be instantaneous). Isolate applications that might modify the screen brightness on the iPad and if unsure what application might be the cause, restore the iPad to see if it fixes the problem (restoring the iPad will remove all 3rd party applications from the device and reset the unit back to factory default settings).
